Re: Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?
Psyah, thats nonsense. You yourself said that Science (ie Evolution) and religion are two separate domains. You also said your opposition to Evolution is not informed by any religious bias. Yet here you betray that very bias.
You claimed that evolution as a process is devoid of compassion and meaningfulness that you find in Islam. Your premise itself is flawed, by claiming that evolution is a rival to Islam. Yet evolution never claims to be such a rival.
Quran says God made man. It does not elaborate on the mechanism. Evolution is simply the nuts and bolts. Evolution is never claimed to be the answer to how man was created from a hodge podge of Carbon Atoms, Amino Acids Proteins etc. It does not challenge the philosophical and spiritual boundaries of Islam or any other religion. Evolution simply attempts to explain how we developed, not how or why we were created. Your confusion seems to lie in associating things to evolution that are not within its domain.
Sure in Islam we are taught that God breathed life in to man, and created Adam, and taught the names of all things etc etc. But this is all symbolism, poetry. Its not meant to be an explanation. You seem to have taken the poetry and made it literal.
Now you say your a scientist, but here you are giving credence to someone who clearly doesn’t understand evolution or science in general. It undermines your credibility.
